why dont you guys stop useing sim cards and setup a sysytem like Verizion has with iphone 5's they have no sim cards

Because Version uses a different technology (CDMA) than AT&T (GSM). Getting rid of the SIM cards would require the replacement of AT&T's entire cellular network, and there seem little value in doing that.

the only verizon phones that we have that contain a sim are the ones designated as world phones. The domestic only versions do not have sim slots. for example the verizon Iphone 4S has a sim slot that can only be unlocked for international use, verizon will not unlock it for domestic use, where as by agreement the iphone 5 is already unlocked for domestic and international use

Re: ATT feedback

Another advantage of using SIM cards is that you can quickly and easily switch your phone, provided that you have the right size SIM card. Even if the sizes are different, there are adapters available to use the SIM in a different phone.
